Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a management system for a table game using an organic substitute currency.

Conventionally, in a game room such as a casino, a table game using an organic substitute currency is conducted. Since the substitute currency for the organic money can be exchanged, the counterfeiting is strictly controlled. Various techniques have been proposed and employed in order to distinguish counterfeit organic substitute currency from true organic substitute currency. For example, there is known a method of embedding a wireless tag in which identification information is recorded in an organic substitute currency, and reading the identification information into a reader to determine the origin (for example, Patent Document 1).

On the other hand, different value for each kind is defined in the substitute currency for organic use, and a technique for detecting the value of the substitute currency for organic use is also proposed in order to automate the table game. For example, there is known a method of embedding a wireless tag in which information of kind or value is recorded in an organic substitute currency, and reading the information into a reader to determine the origin (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments described below represent an example of the case where the present invention is practiced, and the present invention is not limited to the specific configuration described below. In the practice of the present invention, a specific configuration according to the embodiment may be suitably employed.

First, a description will be given of the substitute currency for organic use. Fig. 1 is a plan view of the organic substitute currency of the present embodiment, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along line A-A of Fig. In the following, description will be made of the organic substitution currency 10 symmetrical in the front and back directions, but the organic substitution currency of the present invention is not limited to the symmetrical front and back, and the front and back sides may be asymmetric.

The organic substitute currency 10 is used for betting and payment in a table game. In an organic field such as a casino, the organic substitution currency 10 is available for purchase and can be exchanged. There are a plurality of kinds for the organic substitute currency 10, and the value differs for each kind. The value of the organic substitution currency 10 is, for example, 10 dollars, 20 dollars, 100 dollars, 1000 dollars.

As shown in Fig. 1, the organic substitute currency 10 of the present embodiment has a disk-like shape. Further, the organic substitution currency 10 is also referred to as a gaming chip, a game token, etc., and the shape is not limited to the disk shape but may be a rectangular plate shape or a shape other than the plate shape (for example, do.

As shown in Fig. 2, the organic substitute currency 10 of the present embodiment is formed by stacking plastic layers of different colors. The organic substitution currency 10 has a layer (coloring layer) 11 of a specific color at least in the middle and laminated layers (coloring layers) 12a and 12b of low color on both sides of the coloring layer 11 (Three layers in this embodiment) structure.

Both sides of the colored layer 11 are printed with a material that absorbs infrared rays, specifically, carbon black. In this manner, printing inside the substitute currency for organic use 10 is referred to as internal printing. Inner printed layers 14a and 14b are formed between the colored layer 11 and the upper and lower colored layers 12 by performing internal printing on both sides of the colored layer 11. [ The printing of the internal printed layers 14a and 14b may be made of a transparent or translucent material that absorbs infrared rays. As the transparent infrared absorbing material, for example, indium tin oxide, antimony tin oxide, lanthanum lanthanum and cesium tungsten oxide may be employed.

On the upper side of the upper side binocular layer 12a and the lower side of the lower binocular layer 12b, printing is performed with ordinary ink. Thus, the printing on the two surfaces of the organic substitute currency 10 is referred to as surface printing. By performing surface printing on the surface of the organic substitution currency 10, the surface color printed layers 13a and 13b are formed on the surface of the colored layers 12a and 12b. The layer to be surface printed in this way is referred to as a display plastic layer. Further, a further transparent protective layer may be formed outside the surface printed layers 13a and 13b.

2, the surface print layers 13a and 13b and the internal print layers 14a and 14b are drawn so as to have a predetermined thickness. Actually, these print layers are very thin, (Which is also the same for other drawings). These surface printing and internal printing may be performed over the entire surface of the printing target surface or may be partially formed on the printing surface.

In the present embodiment, the surface printed layers 13a and 13b and the colored layers 12a and 12b are made of a material and a thickness capable of transmitting infrared light. The surface printed layers 13a and 13b and the colored layers 12a and 12b do not need to transmit 100% of infrared rays and may reflect or absorb infrared rays to some extent. With this configuration, when infrared rays are radiated from the outside of the organic substitution currency 10 toward the organic substitute currency 10, the infrared rays are transmitted through the surface printing layer 13a (or 13b) and the colored layer 12a (or 12b ) In this order to reach the internal print layer 14a (or 14b).

Infrared rays are absorbed in the region where the carbon black exists and infrared rays are reflected in the region where there is no carbon black among the infrared rays reaching the internal print layer 14a (or 14b). The reflected infrared rays have information of the image of the internal printing and transmit the coloring layer 12a (or 12b) and the surface printing layer 13a (or 13b) in this order to form the outside of the organic substitution currency 10 . As described above, the infrared rays propagated to the outside of the organic substitution currency 10 are images corresponding to internal printing, and this image is called an infrared image.

An RF tag (RF chip, also referred to as a non-contact tag) 15, which is a wireless tag, is embedded between the lower surface of the colored layer 11 that has been subjected to the internal printing and the lower colored layer 12b. Thus, the RF tag 15 is embedded in the substitutional currency 10 for organic use.

[Method for producing substitute currency for organic use]

In producing the substitute currency 10 for organic use, a plurality of plate materials made of plastic are laminated, thermocompression-bonded, and then subjected to punching to obtain a plurality of substitutional currency 10 for organic use. Specifically, first, surface printing is performed on the lower surface of a plate made of a thin-colored plastic to become the lower coloring layer 12b, and a surface of the plate made of plastic of a specific color to become the coloring layer 11 is coated with carbon black A surface printing is performed on the upper surface of the plastic plate material to be the upper coloring layer 12a and these are laminated in this order to form a laminated structure composed of a plurality of plastics layers do. At this time, the RF tag 15 is embedded at almost the center of each punching process for obtaining a plurality of the substitutional money 10 for organic use. Specifically, an RF tag 15 is placed between the colored layer 11 and the lower colored layer 12b.

Then, the respective layers of the laminated structure are heated and thermally welded to each other to pressurize the laminate, thereby preparing an organic currency plate for an organic substitute. At this time, as for the portion overlapping with the RF tag 15, since the plate material made of plastic is deformed corresponding to the RF tag 15 by heat (in FIG. 2, the thickness of the RF tag 15 is made thicker than actual However, the upper and lower surfaces of the organic substitute currency 10 after the respective layers are thermocompression-bonded are not formed by the RF tag 15, but are formed in a plane shape.

The thus-completed organic replenishment currency plate is punched out by a die to obtain a plurality of substitutional denominations 10 of a predetermined shape. At the time of punch machining, the upper and lower edges of the outside of the organic substitute currency 10 are R processed by a metal mold. The surface printing may be performed after the punching process.

[Information of organic substitute currency]

Next, the information of the organic substitution currency 10 will be described.

(Surface printing information)

The information represented by the surface print is referred to as surface print information. As shown in Fig. 1, on the two surfaces of the organic substitution currency 10, surface printing is carried out by using numerals (e.g., 100 dollars in the example of Fig. 1) indicating the kind or value of the substitute currency 10 for organic use Quot; 100 ") is printed. Although not shown, on the two surfaces of the organic substitute currency 10, a mark or the like of a casino in which a shape or an organic substitute currency 10 is used in addition to numbers is printed as a surface print.

(Internal print information)

The information represented by the internal print is referred to as internal print information. As the internal printing, the shape corresponding to the kind of the organic substitute currency 10 is printed. This shape also functions as a mark for authenticity recognition (authenticity recognition mark). That is, even if the organic substitution currency 10 without the authenticity identification mark is judged to be fake or the shape of the internal printing does not show any kind of the substitute currency for organic use 10, It can be determined that the organic substitute currency 10 is fake.

Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B are diagrams showing examples of the types of internal printing (authenticity recognition marks) of the internal printing layer 14a. FIG. 3A is a lattice-like shape, and in this form, it may indicate that the value of the organic substitute currency 10 is, for example, 10 dollars or 20 dollars. FIG. 3B shows a stripe shape, and in this shape, for example, it may indicate that the value of the organic substitute currency 10 is 100 dollars or 1000 dollars.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the type of the inner printing shape and the type of the substitute for the organic currency 10 do not correspond one-to-one. Instead of this, the type of the inner printing and the type of the substitute for the organic food 10 correspond one by one. Even if the type of the substitute for the organic food 10 can be specified by the shape of the inner printing Alternatively, all kinds of substitutional money 10 for organic use may have the same internal printing, and may have only the function of the authenticity recognition mark in the internal printing.

2, the authenticity identification mark printed as the internal print is printed on both the front and back sides, that is, on both sides of the colored layer 11, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this But may be printed only on one side. In the case where the inner printing is provided on both sides, the content (shape) of the inner printing on both sides may be different.

(Side information)

The information represented by the side of the organic substitute currency 10 is referred to as side information. 2, the coloring layer 11 is formed on the side of the coloring layer 11 and the coloring layer 11 is formed on the side surface of the coloring layer 11 as shown in Fig. 2, by forming the organic substitution currency 10 as described above into a multilayer structure in which the coloring layer 11 and the coloring layers 12a, 12a and the coloring layer 12b is formed between the coloring layer 12a and the coloring layer 12b. Here, as described above, each print layer can hardly be seen from the side view.

The color (specific color) of the colored layer 11 of the organic substitution currency 10 differs depending on the kind (value) of the organic substitution currency 10. For example, assume that a specific color of the 10-dollar organic-exchange money 10 is red, a specific color of the 20-dollar organic-exchange money 10 is green, and a 100- The specific color of the organic substitution currency 10 of 1000 dollars can be made blue.

The colors of the pasted layers 12a and 12b are commonly used for each kind of the organic substitute currency 10. That is, the colors of the pasty color layers 12a and 12b are the same in any kind of the organic substitute currency 10. The color of the colored layers 12a and 12b may be any color if the color is lighter than any specific color (lightness is greater), or may be white. That is, the colored layers 12a and 12b may be a white layer.

As described above, the organic substitution currency 10 has the coloring layer 11 and the coloring layers 12a and 12b at least in the outer appearance so as to form a stripe shape in the axial direction (thickness direction) 11 can be used to specify the kind of the substitute currency 10 for organic use. Thus, even when a plurality of the organic substitute coins 10 are overlapped, the type can be discriminated by the color of the colored layer 11 sandwiched between the colored layers 12a and 12b by observing the side surface thereof.

[How to judge the progress of substitution for organic money]

First, when any of the internal printing information, the surface printing information, the side information, and the RF tag information can not be read from the substitutional currency 10 for organic use, the inspection apparatus 56 judges that the substitute currency 10 for organic use is fake . In addition, the inspection apparatus 56 is capable of reading any of the internal printing information, the surface printing information, the side information, and the RF tag information from the organic substitution currency 10, but the information read is not stored in the database 57 , It is determined that the substitute currency 10 for organic use is fake.

The inspection apparatus 56 also detects the type of the substitute currency 10 for the organic light indicated by the visible light image of the visible light camera 52 and the type of the visible light image of the visible light camera 53 It is checked whether or not the kind of the substitutional currency 10 for organic use and the type of the substitutional substitutional currency 10 read by the RF reader 54 are identical to each other and at least one of the three information matches the other information It is determined that the organic substitute currency 10 is fake.

The inspection apparatus 56 can identify the type of the organic substitute currency 10 from all of the internal print information, the surface print information, the side information, and the RF tag information, 10 are matched or correspond to each other, it is determined that the organic substitute currency 10 is authentic. The inspecting apparatus 56 determines that the type of the organic substitute currency 10 is 10 dollars or 20 dollars, for example, from the internal print information, and from the surface print information, the side information, and the RF tag information, When the type of the currency 10 is specified to be 10 dollars, it is determined that the substitutional currency 10 is authentic. The inspection apparatus 56 judges that the organic substitute currency 10 is fake when, for example, some form of the internal print information is read but it does not correspond to any of the forms shown in Figs. 3A and 3B do.

As described above, since the organic substitution currency 10 of the present embodiment performs printing in which an infrared image appears by infrared rays as internal printing, it is possible to imitate the appearance or marking of the surface that can be visually confirmed, Even if the substitute currency 10 is made, it is judged to be fake unless the internal printing is also imitated. Further, such printing can be prevented from being peeled off or faded by the use of the inside of the organic substitution currency 10, and the presence of the internal printing information and the internal printing can be visually confirmed I can not do it. According to the management system 100 of the present embodiment, since the internal print information of the organic substitution currency 10 is compared with other information of the organic substitution currency 10, It is possible to judge the progress of the organic substitute currency 10 by using the printing information.

The organic substitution currency 10 and the management system 100 of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible. For example, the structure of the organic substitution currency 10, the information of the substitution currency 10 for organic use, the position of the internal printing layer in the substitution currency 10 for organic use and the like are not limited to the above embodiment Do not. In addition, the configuration of the management system 100, the method of determining the progress of the management system, and the like are not limited to the above embodiments. A modified example will be described below.

In this example, as the internal printing, symbols and numbers indicating the kind (value) of the substitute currency 10 for organic use are indicated at four points instead of the shape. The four notations are indicated along the periphery of the organic substitute currency 10, and the angles thereof are shifted from each other by 90 degrees. In the example shown in Fig. 7, the symbols and numerals indicating the kind (value) of the substitute currency 10 for organic use are indicated in the elliptical frame, and in the example shown in Fig. 8, the symbols are indicated in white in the black ellipse.

7 and 8, the internal printing information indicates the type of the organic substitution currency 10, and the internal printing information, the surface printing information, and the side information correspond to each other on a one-to-one basis. Type information 10 indicated by the internal print information and the kind, side information, and / or RF tag information of the organic substitute currency 10 indicated by the surface print information and / ), And judges whether or not they match with each other to judge the earnestness of the foreign currency 10 for organic use.

Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the organic substitute currency 10 of the modified example. In the embodiment described above, the inner printed layer is located between a plurality of sheet metal plates made of plastic. In the present embodiment, the inner printed layer is a laminated structure composed of the colored layer 11 and the colored layers 12a and 12b interposed therebetween. The inner printed layers 14a and 14b are formed on the outer side and the surface printed layers 13a and 13b are formed on the colored layers 12a and 12b. As described above, the internal print layers 14a and 14b are not necessarily inside the plastic layer, and may be located anywhere inside the surface print layers 13a and 13b.

In manufacturing the organic substitute currency 10, the RF tag 15 is sandwiched therebetween, and a plurality of plastic sheet materials are thermally bonded to each other. Thereafter, internal printing is performed on the surface thereof, and surface printing is performed thereon. Internal printing and surface printing may be performed before or after thermo-compression bonding. The internal printed layers 14a and 14b are not exposed to the surface but are covered by the surface printed layers 13a and 13b and can not be visually recognized from the outside and are also formed on the surface printed layers 13a and 13b Lt; / RTI >

10 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the organic substitute currency 10 of another modified example. In the above embodiment, the organic substitution currency 10 is formed by laminating a plurality of plate materials made of plastic. In this modification, as shown in Fig. 10, the organic substitution currency 10 is made of resin And is formed integrally as an organic-denomination-use-money main body 16 by injection molding. 9, the internal print layers 14a and 14b are formed between the organic substitution currency body 16 and the surface print layers 13a and 13b.

9, internal printing is performed on the surface of the organic currency-use main body 16 to form the internal printing layers 14a and 14b, and then the inside printing layer 14 The surface print layers 13a and 13b are formed on the internal print layers 14a and 14b to have the structure shown in Fig.

11 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the organic substitute currency 10 of another modified example. In this modified example, like the example shown in Fig. 10, although the organic substitution use main body 16 is integrally formed, recesses 161a and 161b are formed at the central portions of the two surfaces, The inner printed layers 14a and 14b and the surface printed layers 13a and 13b are formed in this order on the first and second printed wiring boards 161a and 161b.

In the same manner as in the example of Fig. 10, the organic substitution currency 10 of this modified example is also subjected to internal printing on the concave portion 161 of the organic substitution currency main body 16 to form the internal printing layers 14a and 14b , Surface printing is performed on the internal print layer to form the surface print layers 13a and 13b on the internal print layers 14a and 14b to have the structure shown in Fig.

12 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the organic substitute currency 10 of another modified example. In this modified example, similar to the above embodiment, the organic substitute currency 10 is composed of three layers of plastic layers. However, in the organic substitution currency 10 of this modification, the internal printed layer 14a is formed only between the colored layer 11 and the colored layer 12a, and the internal printed layer 14b is formed between the colored layer 11 and the colored layer 12b The inner printed layer 14b is not formed. That is, in the above-described embodiment and its modified example, the two internal printing layers 14a and 14b are formed so as to be vertically symmetrical in the organic substitution currency 10, but in this modified example, A layer 14a is formed.

12, the internal printing by the internal printed layer 14a is performed only from the upper side of Fig. 12 by the infrared camera 51, And the coloring layer 11 in addition to the colored layers 12a and 12b may be formed as a layer for transmitting infrared rays so that the internal printing of the one internal printing layer 14a Or may be viewed from both sides of the money 10 by the infrared camera 51. [

Further, in the above-described embodiment and its modified example of the organic substitution currency 10, the internal printing layers 14a and 14b are given different shapes or markings for each type (value) of the organic substitution currency 10 Alternatively, or in addition to this, as the internal printing, the authenticity identification mark of the same content may be printed in all kinds of the substitutional money 10 for organic use. In this case, the authenticity recognition mark is stored as the internal print information in the database, and the inspection apparatus 56 refers to the database 57 to determine whether or not the organic substitution currency 10 It is possible to judge the progress.

The print content (internal print information) of the internal print may have other information. For example, a two-dimensional bar code indicating identification information may be printed as the inner print on the inner print layers 14a and 14b. In this case, the inspection apparatus 56 has a function of a two-dimensional bar code reader. Alternatively, as the internal printing, a number or a letter indicating the identification information may be displayed. In this case, the inspection apparatus 56 recognizes the identification information by recognizing the numbers or characters indicated in the internal print layer using the machine learning model.

As described above, when the internal print information is printed indicating the identification information, the identification information may be the same as or different from the identification information of the RF tag information. When the identification information of the internal print information is different from the identification information of the RF tag information, the corresponding relationship is stored in the database 57. [ The inspection apparatus 56 can determine whether the identification information of the internal print information and the identification information of the RF tag information correspond to each other by referring to the database 57 and determine the progress of the organic substitute currency 10 .

Next, a modified example of the side information will be described. 13 is a side view of the organic substitute currency 10 of the present modification. As in the above-described embodiment, the organic substitution currency 10 is formed by stacking layers of platelike plastics in a plurality of different colors, integrating them by means such as thermocompression, and then punching out in a circular or quadrangular form . The organic substitution currency 10 produced in this manner has coloring layers 11 at least in the middle and the coloring layers 12a and 12b are formed on both sides of the coloring layer 11 in the middle (Although not shown, it may be a layer that is lighter in color than the colored layer 11).

As shown in Fig. 13, by forming the multilayer structure in which the colored layers 11 are provided and the colored layers 12a and 12b are laminated on both sides of the colored layer 11 in the middle, And the color of the colored layer 11 is changed (red, green, yellow, blue, etc.) for each type of organic substitute currency 10 (10 points, 20 points, 100 points, 1000 points, , And the kind of the substitutional currency 10 for organic use can be specified.

13, in the alternate-use currency 10 of the present modification, the discrimination of the substitutional currency 10 for organic use is performed on the side of the banknotes 12a and 12b, A side ID 126 as an ID mark indicating information is provided. The inner printing layers 14a and 14b, the surface printing layers 13a and 13b and the transparent layers 124a and 124b as the outermost layers are formed on the two surfaces of the organic substitution currency 10 in order from the inside.

In manufacturing this organic substitution currency 10, first, the color of the colored paper 12a, which becomes the internal printing 14a and the surface printing 13a, and which further becomes the colored layer 12a painted with the transparent layer 124a, A plate made of a colored plastic material in which a plate material, an inner printed layer 14b and a surface printed layer 13b are formed and further a colored layer 12b in which a transparent layer 124b is painted, Is formed by thermocompression bonding to form a state in which a plastic plate made of a specific color is thermally press-bonded and then pressed or pressed in a circular or rectangular shape.

The dimensions of the dies and punches of the die for punching are designed so that R machining (rounded edges) is performed at the ends of the outermost transparent layer 124. [ The transparent layer 124 may be a varnish coating layer. The side ID 126 is provided on at least three points in the circumferential direction on the side surface of the organic substitute currency 10. The side ID 126 is given by inkjet printing by ink visible in visible light.

Particularly, in this modification, the side ID 126 is provided with the presence or absence of marks C in a plurality of rows and columns. As shown in Fig. 13, the mark C in a plurality of rows and the plural lines constitutes a code in which the upper and lower marks C are paired, and in Fig. 13, a code of 10 digits is used. Fig. 14 shows a configuration in which upper and lower marks C are paired to constitute codes (four kinds).

The Y character next to the mark C is an identification mark for identifying the upper side and the lower side of the mark. The code composed of the mark C is configured to specify a predetermined combination of the mark C. [ As a result, in the modified example shown in Fig. 14, four kinds of codes of the upper and lower two marks C are printed, and when these are printed in 10 columns, the codes of 10 wines of 4 become configurable. As such, the side ID 126 can represent information of ten orders of magnitude of 4, so that the identification information by the side ID 126 can be given to the sufficient amount of the organic money 10 for the organic money.

The organic substitution currency 10 is a laminate in which a plurality of plastic layers of different colors are laminated and at least one coloring layer 11 is provided and coloring layers 12a and 12b are arranged outside the coloring layer 11 The laminated multilayer structure forms a stripe pattern in the laminating direction on the side surface, and the kind of the organic substitute currency 10 can be specified by the colored layer 11. The side ID 126 is formed on at least three points (preferably six points) of the side surfaces of the colored layers 12a and 12b. In this modified example, six side IDs 126 are formed at a predetermined pitch of 60 degrees in the rotating direction (circumferential direction).

The organic substitution currency 10 is provided with a side ID 126 that is individually identifiable (one for each) and a predetermined ID code 126 of 60 degrees in the rotational direction (circumferential direction) Pitch. The side ID 126 assigned to the organic substitute currency 10 is read by the inspection apparatus 56. [ The side ID 126 can be specified on the database 57 by identifying the identification information of the substitutional foreign currency 10 by reading the side ID 126 by the inspection device 56. [

The internal printing information and the side ID 126 are correlated with each other and stored in the database 57. The inspection apparatus 56 refers to the database 57 and reads the read internal printing information and the side ID 126 from the database 57, (10) is judged based on whether or not the foreign currency is related and stored in the foreign currency denomination (57).

In the present modification, the side ID 126 is provided by inkjet printing by the ink visible in visible light. However, the side ID 126 may be an ink that does not appear in visible light (for example, ink that absorbs infrared rays, Or the like), or an ink (including a very small and invisible ink) visible at least in visible light. The side ID 126 may be printed by combining a plurality of these types of inks.

The management system 100 has a camera corresponding to the ink used for printing the side ID 126 (i.e., a visible light camera when the ink is visible ink, an infrared camera when the ink is infrared reaction ink, , A plurality of functions of a camera (a visible light camera, an infrared camera, an ultraviolet camera (a UV irradiator and a visible light camera, etc.)) corresponding to the ink can be switched And a camera.

Fig. 15 is a diagram showing a plurality of modifications of the side ID 126. Fig. In Fig. 15, the surface printing layer and the inner printing layer are not shown. In the case of the organic substitute currency 10-1, the side ID 126 is printed with invisible ink (infrared ray absorbing ink). In the organic substitute currency 10-2, the mark C of a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns is printed with ink which appears black in the visible light. In the organic substitute currency 10-3, the mark C is printed with the ink which appears black in the visible light even between the side IDs 126, and the side ID 126 is made compatible with the design, I do not.

In the organic substitute currency 10-4, the start and end points of the side ID 126 are indicated by the mark Cf indicating the end. In the case of the infrared cameras, the ink for absorbing the infrared rays is absorbed by the infrared rays and appears black, and the side IDs 126 are readable (for the organic substitute currency 10-5) ). Upper and lower sides of the side ID 126 are indicated by marks CL indicating the upper and lower sides. The relationship between the upper and lower marks is as shown in Fig. Further, the side ID 126 may be printed by a combination of ink and infrared absorbing ink visible in visible light.

In the examples of Figs. 13 to 15, identification information of the side ID 126 and internal print information are associated with each other in the database 57 and stored. The inspection apparatus 56 refers to the database 57 to check whether the identification information read from the side ID 126 corresponds to the type information read out from the infrared image of the internal print, It is determined that the organic substitute currency 10 is fake.

16 is a diagram showing still another modification of the side information. In this modified example, the organic substitute currency 10 has a three-layered laminate structure as in the above-described embodiment, but the colored laminated layer 12 is formed at the center, and the colored laminated layer 12 is sandwiched between both sides The coloring layers 11a and 11b are formed. The inner printed layer 14a is formed on the upper surface of the colored layer 11a and the surface printed layer 13a and the transparent layer 124a are formed in this order on the upper surface of the colored layer 11a, The surface print layer 13b, and the transparent layer 124b are formed in this order.

On the side surface of the organic substitute currency 10, a seven-digit number is printed as the side ID 126. Specifically, the number as a mark is printed on the central coloring layer 12 to form the side ID 126. [ If a seven-digit number is printed as a combination of digits, a code of ten to seven digits can be configured, and thus the side ID 126 of the substitute currency 10 for organic use can be sufficiently given.

In the above embodiment and its modifications, a relatively wide range of the organic table T is photographed, for example, by the visible light camera 52, so that in the inspection apparatus 56, In addition to the kind of the organic substitute currency 10, the position (for example, the position of the substitute currency 10 for the organic substitute such as a player, a banker, a pair, etc. in the baccarat position) on the placed organic table T May be recognized. Also in this case, the inspection apparatus 56 may use a technique of machine learning for this recognition.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment and its modified examples, the weight of the weight for increasing the weight may be formed. The weighted layer may contain a metal or a ceramic. A metal powder (for example, zinc oxide, titanium oxide or one or more metal oxides) may be added to the material of the layer in the coloring layer 11 to increase the weight of the coloring layer 11 may be a weighted layer.

In the above embodiment, the inside printing is performed using the infrared absorbing material, but an infrared reflecting material or a fluorescent material which is excited in response to infrared rays may be used for the internal printing.
